Scooter and Dsprint, thanks for the kind words on the project. To my knowledge there's no silicone around.
Bob, 34-40, Mr Smith, Jack, thanks for suggestions and tips. Everything I learn here is valuable knowledge, often paid for by sweat, frustrations and a few thrown wrenches in the past.
Steve, I didn't sand away as much as I put on, but I sanded away a lot of paint! It's not perfect by any means, but looking at that chassis and components is a very satisfying step in the learning process for me.
This is fresh out of the booth area after an overnight drying time, and today I get to sand it down again,but this time with 1500 grit and lots of water and Ivory soap to take a few flaws away. It's hard to get a decent shot of paint indoors in bad lighting, so I did the old ruler (engineer's scale
) reflection to give an idea.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
